Windows 10: Files lost in copying

Hi All!


I recently bought a new computer and is trying to copy all my old files to the new computer.

After copying, I checked the folder properties and realized that the number of files and folder size is very much reduced.


I can understand if folder size is reduced but I cannot understand how number of files can be different.


Appreciate some advice.

:)

 

Java.nio.file - Copying files

You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one

Issue was the above, so thanks temp02.

 

How is copying files in Windows 10?


I created a feature request listing on Windows User Voice to propose the inclusion of advanced copy management options. People can vote for the idea if they also want it, here:

Provide advanced copy file options in the manner of checkboxes in the transfer window to designate what to do with certain types of conflict – Feature Suggestions for Windows
